S4, the interior electrode of coated introns is placed between two semicylinder sticks, then by two semicolumn sticks It is spliced into a complete cylindrical body, no gap is required between surrounding layer and introns, is fitted closely.
S5, irrigation crystal operation is carried out, pours into cholesteric liquid crystal material in the cylindrical body obtained to step S4, makes cholesteryl liquid crystal Material obtains liquid crystal fiber full of the region between surrounding layer and interior electrode in addition to introns;Heat can be used in irrigation crystal operation The methods of irrigation crystal method, vacuum irrigation crystal method, since the device size of the present embodiment is smaller, so in such a way that vacuum pump vacuumizes Irrigation crystal is carried out, better volume irrigation crystal effect can be obtained.
S6, annealing operation is carried out to the liquid crystal fiber that step S5 is obtained: liquid crystal fiber is heated up 30 DEG C using every 20min Heating rate is warming up to 50 DEG C from 20 DEG C;Then it keeps the temperature 30min at 50 DEG C, then is cooled down 30 DEG C of rate of temperature fall with every 60min Liquid crystal fiber is cooled to 20 DEG C;
S7, polishing grinding processing is carried out to liquid crystal fiber surface;
S8, by multiple liquid crystal fibers, (different liquid crystal fibers uses different cholesteric liquid crystal materials, then its Prague is anti- It is identical to penetrate color, but reflectivity is different) fibre bundle is combined into a manner of polygonal arrangement, electrochromism fiber device is formed, is led to Overvoltage controls 0/1 on-off, may be implemented 2nKind steady state effect.
After the completion of irrigation crystal, fiber display color is plane state at this time (fiber takes on a red color);With the frequency of 1kHz, the electricity of 12V The AC field of pressure drives, and liquid crystal reaches Focal conic state (fiber is in black) in fiber, and when voltage is increased to 50V, liquid crystal is nematic State (fiber is still in black), at this point, liquid crystal can be stablized Focal conic state if slowly removing voltage (fiber is stablized in black);If fast Speed removes voltage, and liquid crystal can return to plane state (fiber returns to red), and both of which is the stable state of zero point off field (in 0- Between 12V, the Color Reflectance of fiber can be reduced with the increase of voltage, and the two is substantially negatively correlated relationship, still In this voltage range, the color of fiber is basic or red, and only degree is different.So can be in the range of 0-12V, benefit It is driven with different voltage, realizes red different reflectivity).A red reflectivity may be implemented in a fiber as a result, The bistable switching of zero electric field of R1 and black;But the array combination unit that three fibers (three reflectivity) are constituted can To realize 8 stable states and the multistable electrically-controlled liquid crystal color-changing unit device of fiber state with free switching, can be realized.
The realization of multistable combination:
N kind is inoculated with to the fibre of the cholesteric liquid crystal material (Bragg reflection color is identical, but reflectivity is different) of different characteristics Dimension is combined into fibre bundle in a manner of the arrangement of the side n shape, forms an array structure unit, and each fiber may be implemented two kinds surely State (the reflectivity R1 and black of certain Bragg reflection color), n root fiber is the n kind reflectivity of this color respectively, with array Mode combine, so that it may realize 2nKind steady state effect.
Circuit control explanation:
The circuit control of every fiber all mainly divides two states, and when needing color to be shown is black, needing will be electric Pressure is given to the threshold voltage of corresponding cholesteric liquid crystal material (that is, the electricity for making cholesteric phase cholesteric liquid crystal material be in nematic state Pressure), then slowly reduce voltage until no-voltage (that is, cholesteric phase cholesteric liquid crystal material can stablize the process in Focal conic state), Liquid crystal fiber can be stablized in black;When need color to be shown Bragg reflection color corresponding for cholesteric liquid crystal material, need Voltage is given to the threshold voltage of corresponding cholesteric liquid crystal material (that is, cholesteric phase cholesteric liquid crystal material is made to be in nematic state Voltage), then quickly reduce voltage to no-voltage (that is, cholesteric phase cholesteric liquid crystal material can transform back into plane from Focal conic state The process of state), liquid crystal fiber eventually shows and stablizes in its corresponding Bragg reflection color.
